# Test Suite Review - maqet v0.0.13
**Date**: 2025-12-08
**Reviewer**: Code Review Expert Agents
**Scope**: Complete test suite analysis focusing on skipped and failing tests

---

## Executive Summary

The maqet test suite contains **1,657 tests** across ~48,000 lines of test code with a **94.6% pass rate**. Analysis reveals:

**Test Results**:
- ✅ **1,568 PASSED** (94.6%)
- ❌ **54 FAILED** (3.3%)
- ⏭️ **30 SKIPPED** (1.8%)
- ⚠️ **5 ERRORS** (0.3%)

**Key Findings**:
1. **21 skipped tests should be REMOVED** - 18 legacy Phase 3 cruft + 3 QMP auth (not needed) + 1 hardcoded version test (440 LOC total)
2. **4 skipped tests should be REFACTORED** - Blocked by fixable issues (CLI raw QMP, performance conditionals, process cleanup)
3. **54 test failures** - Mostly from recent feature work (snapshots, version bump, per-VM architecture)
4. **5 test isolation errors** - QMP socket/process cleanup gaps

**Recommendations**:
- **Phase 1 (Quick Wins)**: 2-3 hours → Remove 21 unnecessary tests, fix 5 critical failures
- **Phase 2 (Isolation)**: 3-4 hours → Fix 5 flaky tests, enhance cleanup
- **Phase 3-4 (Comprehensive)**: 10-14 hours → Fix remaining 48 failures

**Estimated effort to 100% green suite**: 15-21 hours

## Skipped Tests Analysis (30 Total)

### Category 1: REMOVE - Not Needed for v0.1 (21 tests)

**Breakdown**:
- 18 Legacy Phase 3 tests (obsolete code)
- 3 QMP authentication tests (feature not needed - IPC mode sufficient)
- 1 Hardcoded version test (other 8 version tests provide better validation)

#### Legacy Phase 3 Tests (18 tests)

**DELETE THESE FILES ENTIRELY**:

#### File 1: `tests/test_bash_handler_test.py` (91 lines, 1 skipped)
**Reason**: Tests removed `bash_handler` module
**Skip Marker**: `"Legacy bash_handler tests no longer match Phase 3 implementation"`
**Coverage**: Functionality tested in `test_stage_handler.py`
**Action**: DELETE FILE

#### File 2: `tests/integration/test_maqet_integration.py` (85 lines, 5 skipped)
**Reasons**:
- `test_call_no_binary` - Legacy `__call__` method removed
- `test_call_with_binary` - Legacy `__call__` method removed
- `test_sigint_handler` - Legacy `__sigint_handler` removed
- `test_stage` - Legacy pipeline `__stage__` method removed
- `test_serial_argument` - Legacy serial argument handling removed

**Action**: DELETE FILE (only contains legacy tests)

#### File 3: `tests/unit/test_refactoring_demo.py` (180 lines, 3 skipped)
**Reason**: Demonstration code showing "BEFORE vs AFTER" refactoring patterns
**Skip Marker**: `"Demonstration only - shows OLD pattern"`
**Action**: MOVE to `docs/development/test-patterns.md` OR DELETE

#### File 4: `tests/integration/test_state_manager_pooling.py` (50 lines, 1 skipped)
**Reason**: Tests `custom_data_dir` parameter removed from `StateManager.__init__()`
**Skip Marker**: `"Needs update - custom_data_dir parameter removed from StateManager.__init__()"`
**Action**: DELETE FILE (or update if pooling still relevant)

#### QMP Direct Socket Authentication (3 tests)
**File**: `tests/integration/test_cross_process_qmp.py`

**Tests to DELETE**:
- Line 202: `test_qmp_works_via_direct_socket_mode`
- Line 372: `test_qmp_direct_socket_vs_ipc`
- Line 518: `test_qmp_manager_mode_selection`

**Reason**: QMP direct socket authentication not needed for v0.1.0
**Current Workaround**: IPC mode works correctly for all QMP operations
**Future Reference**: Documented in `docs/development/FUTURE_FEATURES.md` under "QMP Direct Socket Authentication"

**Action**: DELETE these 3 test methods from `test_cross_process_qmp.py`

#### Hardcoded Version Test (1 test)
**File**: `tests/integration/test_version_consistency.py:248-263`

**Test to DELETE**:
```python
def test_current_version_is_0_0_12(self):
    assert maqet.__version__ == "0.0.12"  # Hardcoded version - busywork to maintain
```

**Reason**: Creates busywork - must be updated every release
**Redundant**: The file has 8 other tests that validate version integrity:
1. `test_version_exists_in_init` - Version attribute exists
2. `test_version_exists_in_version_module` - `__version__.py` defined
3. `test_versions_are_synchronized` - No drift between files
4. `test_version_format_is_valid` - Semver format validation
5. `test_version_is_not_placeholder` - Prevents `0.0.0`, `dev`, `unknown`
6. `test_version_in_init_matches_file_content` - Import pattern correct
7. `test_version_module_matches_file_content` - No runtime modification
8. `test_version_files_are_in_git` - Files tracked

**These 8 tests ensure**: Version exists, properly formatted, synchronized, not placeholder
**They DON'T require**: Updating test on every version bump

**Alternative (if you want version validation)**:
```python
def test_version_matches_pyproject(self):
    """Verify __version__ matches pyproject.toml."""
    import tomllib
    pyproject = tomllib.load(open("pyproject.toml", "rb"))
    expected_version = pyproject["project"]["version"]
    import maqet
    assert maqet.__version__ == expected_version
```

**Recommendation**: DELETE the test - 8 others are sufficient

---

**Total Impact**: -440 LOC, -21 skipped tests

**Validation Command**:
```bash
# Before deletion
pytest --collect-only | grep -E "test_bash_handler|test_maqet_integration|test_refactoring_demo|test_state_manager_pooling"

# Delete legacy test files
rm tests/test_bash_handler_test.py
rm tests/integration/test_maqet_integration.py
rm tests/unit/test_refactoring_demo.py
rm tests/integration/test_state_manager_pooling.py

# After deletion - should return 0 results
pytest --collect-only | grep -E "test_bash_handler|test_maqet_integration|test_refactoring_demo|test_state_manager_pooling"
```

**Delete QMP Authentication Tests**:
```bash
# Edit tests/integration/test_cross_process_qmp.py
# DELETE these 3 test methods:
# - test_qmp_works_via_direct_socket_mode (lines ~202-245)
# - test_qmp_direct_socket_vs_ipc (lines ~372-425)
# - test_qmp_manager_mode_selection (lines ~518-570)
```

**Delete Hardcoded Version Test**:
```bash
# Edit tests/integration/test_version_consistency.py
# DELETE test_current_version_is_0_0_12 (lines 248-263)
```

---

### Category 2: REFACTOR - Blocked by Fixable Issues (4 tests)

#### Issue 1: QMP Authentication Gap (4 tests)
**File**: `tests/integration/test_cross_process_qmp.py:202,248,372,518`

**Tests**:
- `test_qmp_works_via_direct_socket_mode` (line 202)
- `test_qmp_works_after_cli_exit` (line 248)
- `test_qmp_direct_socket_vs_ipc` (line 372)
- `test_qmp_manager_mode_selection` (line 518)

**Issue**: QMPSocketClient lacks challenge/response authentication
**Skip Reason**: `"QMPSocketClient needs authentication support for maqet's QMP security"`

**Decision Point**: Do you need direct socket mode?

**Option A - Implement Authentication** (4-6 hours):
```python
# maqet/qmp/qmp_socket_client.py
class QMPSocketClient:
    def connect(self, auth_secret: str | None = None) -> None:
        """Connect with optional authentication."""
        greeting = self._receive()

        capability_cmd = {"execute": "qmp_capabilities"}
        if auth_secret:
            capability_cmd["arguments"] = {"secret": auth_secret}

        self._send(capability_cmd)
        response = self._receive()

        if "error" in response:
            raise QMPError(f"Authentication failed: {response['error']}")
```

**Option B - Remove Tests** (10 minutes):
- IPC mode works correctly and is recommended approach
- DELETE the 4 skipped tests
- Document in CLAUDE.md: "Direct socket mode not supported, use IPC"

**Recommendation**: Option B - IPC sufficient, remove technical debt

> I don't need authentication for QMP for now. Remove it, write as possible feature for future

---

#### Issue 2: Performance Test Conditional Skips (2 tests)
**File**: `tests/performance/test_performance.py:273,302`

**Tests**:
- `test_vm_start_time` (line 273) - Skip reason: "Requires QEMU - manual test only"
- `test_memory_usage_with_many_vms` (line 302) - Skip reason: "Requires psutil - optional dependency"

**Issue**: psutil IS installed (in dev dependencies), test shouldn't be skipped

**Solution**: Make conditional instead of skipped:
```python
# BEFORE:
@pytest.mark.skip(reason="Requires psutil - optional dependency")
def test_memory_usage_with_many_vms(self):
    # Test implementation

# AFTER:
@pytest.mark.performance
def test_memory_usage_with_many_vms(self):
    psutil = pytest.importorskip("psutil")  # Skip gracefully if not installed
    # Test implementation - now runs when psutil available
```

**Priority**: MEDIUM - Enables optional performance validation

---

#### Issue 3: Process Cleanup Bug (1 test)
**File**: `tests/e2e/test_vm_lifecycle.py:197`

**Test**: `test_vm_removal_cleans_up_process`
**Skip Reason**: `"Known issue: Process cleanup not working correctly in per-VM architecture - needs investigation"`

**Issue**: Force VM removal doesn't kill QEMU/runner processes

**Solution**: Fix `VMManager.remove()` force cleanup:
```python
# maqet/managers/vm_manager.py
def remove(self, vm_id, force=False, ...):
    if force:
        vm = self.state_manager.get_vm(vm_id)

        # Kill QEMU process
        if vm.pid:
            try:
                os.kill(vm.pid, signal.SIGKILL)
                # Wait for process to die
                for _ in range(50):  # 5 seconds
                    try:
                        os.kill(vm.pid, 0)
                        time.sleep(0.1)
                    except OSError:
                        break  # Process dead
            except OSError:
                pass

        # Kill runner process
        if vm.runner_pid:
            try:
                os.kill(vm.runner_pid, signal.SIGKILL)
                # Same wait logic
            except OSError:
                pass
```

**Priority**: HIGH - Critical cleanup functionality

---

### Category 3: Keep Skipped (5 tests - Valid Reasons)

After implementing Issue 2 fixes (conditional psutil tests), only manual performance tests will remain skipped:

1. **Manual Performance Tests** (1-2 tests after fixes) - Intended for manual profiling only
2. **Conditional Tests** (2-3 tests) - Currently skipped, will become conditional (run when dependencies available)

---

## Test Failures Analysis (54 Failed Tests)

### Critical Failures (Fix Immediately)

#### Failure 1: Version Mismatch (1 test)
**File**: `tests/integration/test_version_consistency.py:15`

**Test**: `test_current_version_is_0_0_12`

**Issue**: Test hardcoded to expect v0.0.12 but actual is v0.0.13

**Fix** (5 minutes):
```python
# DECISION: DELETE this test entirely
# File: tests/integration/test_version_consistency.py
# DELETE lines 248-263: test_current_version_is_0_0_12()

# REASON: The file has 8 other tests that validate version properly without hardcoding
# These tests don't break on version bumps and provide better validation
```

> Why we need test version number at all and bump it every time? Can it be somehow automated?

---

#### Failure 2: Snapshot Exception Wrapping (5 tests)
**File**: `tests/integration/test_live_snapshots_integration.py`

**Tests**:
- `test_live_snapshot_fails_on_stopped_vm`
- `test_consecutive_live_snapshots_preserve_vm_state`
- `test_live_and_offline_snapshots_are_compatible`
- `test_live_snapshot_with_overwrite`
- `test_live_snapshot_without_overwrite_fails_on_duplicate`

**Issue**: Decorator now wraps `VMNotRunningError` in `SnapshotError`, tests expect unwrapped

**Root Cause**:
```python
# maqet/decorators.py:238
except (VMNotRunningError, VMNotFoundError) as e:
    raise SnapshotError(error_msg) from e  # <-- Wraps exception
```

**Fix** (30 minutes):
```python
# BEFORE:
with pytest.raises(VMNotRunningError):
    integration_maqet.snapshot(vm_id=stopped_vm, action="create", live=True)

# AFTER:
with pytest.raises(SnapshotError) as exc_info:
    integration_maqet.snapshot(vm_id=stopped_vm, action="create", live=True)

# Verify wrapped exception
assert isinstance(exc_info.value.__cause__, VMNotRunningError)
assert "not running" in str(exc_info.value).lower()
```

**Files to Update**: Apply pattern to all 5 tests in `test_live_snapshots_integration.py`

---

### High Priority Failures

#### Failure 3: Test Isolation Errors (5 tests)
**File**: `tests/integration/test_cross_process_qmp.py`

**Tests**:
- `test_qmp_socket_path_stored_in_database`
- `test_qmp_works_via_ipc_mode`
- `test_qmp_socket_cleanup_on_vm_stop`
- `test_multiple_qmp_commands_sequence`
- `test_qmp_socket_path_persistence_across_queries`

**Issue**: Tests PASS when run individually, FAIL in full suite (flaky tests)

**Root Cause**: Per-VM architecture doesn't fully cleanup QMP sockets/processes between tests

**Fix** (3-4 hours):

1. **Enhance cleanup fixture**:
```python
# tests/integration/conftest.py
@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def cleanup_qmp_resources(request, temp_dir):
    """Ensure QMP sockets/processes cleaned between tests."""
    yield

    # Kill any remaining QEMU/runner processes
    for proc in psutil.process_iter(['pid', 'name', 'cmdline']):
        try:
            cmdline = ' '.join(proc.info['cmdline'] or [])
            if 'maqet' in cmdline and str(temp_dir) in cmdline:
                proc.kill()
                proc.wait(timeout=2)
        except (psutil.NoSuchProcess, psutil.TimeoutExpired):
            pass

    # Remove stale socket files
    for socket_file in Path(temp_dir).rglob("*.sock"):
        socket_file.unlink(missing_ok=True)
```

2. **Fix VMManager.remove() process cleanup** (see Issue 3 above)

**Validation**:
```bash
# Run tests 3 times to verify stability
for i in {1..3}; do
  pytest tests/integration/test_cross_process_qmp.py -v
done
```

---

#### Failure 4: QMP Manager Unit Tests (27 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/unit/managers/test_qmp_manager.py` (20 failures)
- `tests/unit/managers/test_qmp_security.py` (7 failures)

**Tests Categories**:
- Dangerous command blocking (2 tests)
- Privileged command logging (7 tests)
- Audit logging (2 tests)
- IPC/Direct socket modes (6 tests)
- Helper methods (2 tests)
- Security validation (7 tests)

**Investigation Required**: Need detailed traceback to determine root cause

**Next Steps**:
```bash
# Get detailed failure info
pytest tests/unit/managers/test_qmp_manager.py::TestDangerousCommandBlocking -vv --tb=long > qmp_failures.txt

# Analyze patterns
grep -A 10 "FAILED" qmp_failures.txt
```

**Likely Causes**:
1. Mock setup issues after QMP manager refactoring
2. Changed QMP command validation logic
3. Audit logging format changes

**Priority**: HIGH - Core functionality, but likely test bugs not implementation bugs

---

#### Failure 5: VM Manager Unit Tests (9 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/unit/managers/test_vm_manager.py` (3 failures)
- `tests/unit/managers/test_vm_manager_concurrency.py` (6 failures)

**Tests**:
- Process spawning (1 test)
- Post-startup validation (2 tests)
- Concurrency scenarios (6 tests)

**Investigation Required**: Get detailed tracebacks

**Priority**: HIGH - VM lifecycle core functionality

---

#### Failure 6: Integration Test Suites (28 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/integration/test_machine_integration.py` (7 failures)
- `tests/integration/test_multi_vm_scenarios.py` (6 failures)
- `tests/integration/test_wait_parameters.py` (8 failures)
- `tests/integration/test_per_vm_architecture.py` (7 failures)

**Common Pattern**: Per-VM architecture changes likely broke assumptions about process management

**Investigation Priority**:
1. `test_per_vm_architecture.py` - Core architecture tests
2. `test_wait_parameters.py` - Recent feature
3. `test_machine_integration.py` - Fundamental lifecycle
4. `test_multi_vm_scenarios.py` - Edge cases

**Priority**: HIGH - Validates real-world workflows

---

### Medium Priority Failures

#### Failure 7: Maqet Unit Tests (15 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/unit/maqet/test_maqet_config_apply.py` (3 tests)
- `tests/unit/maqet/test_maqet_helpers.py` (1 test)
- `tests/unit/maqet/test_maqet_info_inspection.py` (4 tests)
- `tests/unit/maqet/test_maqet_qmp_operations.py` (6 tests)
- `tests/unit/maqet/test_maqet_snapshots.py` (1 test)

**Pattern**: Maqet API method tests - likely mock setup issues

---

#### Failure 8: CLI Integration Tests (7 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/integration/test_cli_integration.py` (4 tests)
- `tests/integration/test_code_review_improvements.py` (3 tests)

**Issue**: API registry isolation pattern (already documented by agents)

**Root Cause**: Metaclass registration timing vs patch timing

**Fix**: Use fixture-based registry injection instead of `patch()`

---

#### Failure 9: E2E Tests (4 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/e2e/test_qmp_cli_workflow.py` (3 tests)
- `tests/e2e/test_qmp_integration.py` (1 test)

**Tests**: Keyboard input, pause/resume, screenshot workflows

**Priority**: MEDIUM - E2E validation important but not blocking core

---

#### Failure 10: Misc Tests (5 tests)
**Files**:
- `tests/integration/test_snapshot_configuration_contexts.py` (2 tests)
- `tests/integration/test_vm_startup_errors.py` (2 tests)
- `tests/performance/test_performance.py` (1 test)
- `tests/test_leak_detection_verification.py` (1 test)
- `tests/unit/ipc/test_unix_socket_errors.py` (7 tests)
- `tests/integration/test_process_spawner.py` (1 test)
- `tests/integration/test_unified_api.py` (1 test)

---

## Prioritized Remediation Plan

### PHASE 1: Quick Wins (2-3 hours)
**Goal**: Remove legacy tests, fix critical blockers
**Impact**: -21 skipped tests, +5 passing tests (version test deleted, snapshot tests fixed)

**Tasks**:
1. **Delete hardcoded version test** (5 min)
   ```bash
   # Edit tests/integration/test_version_consistency.py

## Appendix: Test Files to Remove

Execute these commands to remove unnecessary test files and methods:

```bash
# Navigate to test directory
cd /mnt/internal/git/m4x0n/the-linux-project/maqet

# 1. Remove legacy test files (18 tests)
rm tests/test_bash_handler_test.py
rm tests/integration/test_maqet_integration.py
rm tests/unit/test_refactoring_demo.py
rm tests/integration/test_state_manager_pooling.py

# 2. Edit test_cross_process_qmp.py to remove 3 QMP auth tests
# Delete these methods manually or with sed:
# - test_qmp_works_via_direct_socket_mode (~lines 202-245)
# - test_qmp_direct_socket_vs_ipc (~lines 372-425)
# - test_qmp_manager_mode_selection (~lines 518-570)

# 3. Edit test_version_consistency.py to remove hardcoded version test
# Delete test_current_version_is_0_0_12 (lines 248-263)

# 4. Verify no critical coverage lost
pytest --collect-only
# Should show ~1,605 tests (down from 1,657)

# 5. Commit all changes
git add -u
git commit -m "test: Remove 21 unnecessary tests

- Remove 18 legacy Phase 3 tests (4 files, 406 LOC)
- Remove 3 QMP direct socket auth tests (feature deferred)
- Remove 1 hardcoded version test (8 other tests sufficient)

Files deleted:
- tests/test_bash_handler_test.py
- tests/integration/test_maqet_integration.py
- tests/unit/test_refactoring_demo.py
- tests/integration/test_state_manager_pooling.py

Test methods removed:
- test_cross_process_qmp.py: 3 auth-related tests
- test_version_consistency.py: test_current_version_is_0_0_12

Impact: -440 LOC, -21 skipped tests
QMP auth documented in docs/development/FUTURE_FEATURES.md
Version validation still covered by 8 remaining tests
